Do polysaccharides consist of polymers?
It woule be more accurate to say that polysaccharides are polymers.
What is a bioadhesive?
A bioadhesive is any of many gums or other naturally occurring polymers which act as adhesives.
Polysaccharides are polymers of what?
Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, which are carbohydrates. Starch and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from mannose, glacturonic acid, galactose, and fructose.
What do Polymers of sugars form?
Polymers of sugars form complex carbohydrates, such as starch and cellulose in plants, and glycogen in animals. These long chains of sugar molecules serve as energy storage molecules or structural components in cells and tissues.
How are the polymers cellulose and chitin similar?
Both are carbohydrates,Polysaccharides.
Name some polymers that are produced in nature?
There are several polymers in living beings, for example, proteins, DNA, RNA, and polysaccharides.
What Starch and cellulose are?
They are all polysaccharides made of glucose monomers.
How are plastics similar to polysaccharides?
As you stated, plastics are polymers, meaning they are made up of several smaller units called monomers. An example of this is a common material known as PVC. This stands for polyvinyl chloride, which is a polymer of vinyl chloride. Likewise, polysaccharides are also polymers, made up of smaller units, again called monomers. An example of this is a carbohydrate, which is made up of smaller sugars, such as glucose. So the difference between plastics and polysaccharides is that they are made up of different monomers. For plastics the monomer is an organic molecule, and for polysaccharides the monomer is a single saccharide, also known as a simple sugar.
What has the author Ryouichi Ito written?

How are polymers and synthetic polymers similar?
Synthetic polymers contain linkages which are present in natural polymers also , for example nylon (a synthetic polymer) contains pep-tide (also called amide) linkage and proteins also contain the same linkage .. considering that protein is a naturally occurring polymer Btw , not sure if this is the only similarity .. :D

How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons that are naturally occurring in the earth's crust. However, polymers can be derived from crude oil through a process called polymerization, where small molecular units (monomers) derived from crude oil are chemically bonded together to form long chains known as polymers.
